    X = 17.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here we have a word problem relating to syntax regarding mapping of a scale factor;

    Whereby the scale factor is 3.5 we have that the scale factor can be represented as 2:7

    Hence the scale is for every 2 units of Figure A, we have 7 units of Figure B

    Hence where Figure A is 5, we have;

    2 unit of Figure A = 7 units of Figure B

    ∴ 1 unit of Figure A = 7/2 (=3.5) units of Figure B

    5 unit of Figure A = 3.5 * 5 units of Figure B = 17.5 units of Figure B

    Therefore where we have;

    5 unit of Figure A = X units of Figure B

    Then, X = 17.5.
